"Amber!"
I look at the door from my place on the sofa. Leta and I were talking about Transfiguration, Pickett chipping in with various clicking noises.
The voice belongs to a sixth year; Darcy Lord.
"I don't know who did it but you have to come!"
"OK but-"
Darcy grabs my hand and pulls me away from Leta, Pickett just clinging on to my cloak. She takes me to the hospital wing.
And that's where I see Newt.
"Newt!"
I run over to the bed he's in. He looks a mess. He has a black eye, a scar on the right of his forehead, a bleeding lip and a bent nose.
"What happened?" I ask, standing next to him.
"Erm, I heard some Gryffindor students saying mean things about you. Calling you names and stuff. So I told them to stop it and - well - here I am."
I'm in shock. Newt really does still care. I smile at him and he smiles back. I love his smile. Almost as much as I love him. A wacky thought flashes through my mind.
"So, how's life?" He asks.
I step closer to him.
"Fine. Great, actually."
One step closer.
"Oh. How's Leta?"
"She's fine."
"OK..."
The conversation slowly grows empty. I know how to fill it again. I bend over Newt and...
...I kiss him.
When I get back up, I see his face has turned red and that Pickett climbed onto my shoulder and is smiling. I feel a bit flustered myself. Unable to think of anything else to say I decide to leave.
"Bye Newt."
"See you Amber."
I walk back to the Slytherin Common Room and smile a little.
I can't believe I kissed Newt.
